#AutoCaptioning
Somewhat surprised that the autocaptioning got Paul-Loup Chatin's name correct. (tbf, if it hadn't I would have not really blamed the system because who calls somebody Paul-Wolf?)

I should probably be posting about my projects...

Here's an autocaptioning thing for macOS that's just a ripoff of the one android has

lrt autocaptioning is incredibly helpful in *extremely specific circumstances* as a captioner (people arent talking over each other in a very long video). but you need to have a human being review these cause they are only eh.. maybe 60% accurate at best? i have used autocaptioning as a time […]

Fun detail about one video on YouTube about Pete Hegseth pretending and failing to be as strong as a soldier: the autocaptioning heard Pete Hegseth and inexplicably changed it to Pete Buttigieg.

Youtube Algorithm can't believe Hegseth ever exercises, but it knows Buttigieg does.

reddit has a rather interestingly dogshit ai autocaptioning system that seems to take context from everything except the audio? just saw a video captioned with I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. over and over while the audio is just fighting noises and grunting. odd

lol, i don't do the app (or video in general, really) but i will mute, turn on autocaptioning and speed videos up to hell if i want to see what someone has said.

baffling that image search and gif search could not turn this up

had to find it on youtube, and it censored the autocaptioning

Cackling at YouTube autocaptioning GWay singing "I've really been on a bender and it shows" as "I'm a panther on the shout"

How. How did it get PANTHER

The autocaptioning is a fine example of Artificial Stupidity. 😵‍💫

The autocaptioning did not give her a chance

Autocaptioning, as I was watching an interview embedded in a Racket article, just presented me with the following delight:

"glorious diamond"

when the spoken words they were captioning had been:

"Gloria Steinem"

The habit of just leaving autocaptioning mistakes in videos has gone too far. Like yeah, a couple of obviously understood near-homophones, fine, but the whole point of captioning is so people who can't hear or don't have sound on can know what you're saying, and it's lately become incomprehensible.

english autocaptioning on yo*t*be goes insane if you stutter on using i, huh. if i find out what other factors can cause this, it could be useful for poisoning certain scrapers.

its crazy to me elon doesn't have grok just autocaptioning every image internally or something. I have so many fucking bookmarks on twitter and I want to search for specific images I've saved. I suppose I can just scrape them all locally like I did my reddit bookmarks and then have luna caption them

YouTube it's already annoying enough that you let manual claims force me to mute chunks of my video without letting me filter out the claimed audio, but can whatever bullshit AI autocaptioning system you've recently snuck in there please stop removing my captions from the muted parts. like cmon -R

The video is from 2011 so before autocaptioning. Sorry! It’s called One Day by Matisyahu if you want to look up the lyrics.

I use InShot, it's got autocaptioning that takes so much guesswork out. Just watch through the video after to be sure it worked right.

there are no captions on this inset clip. it would be helpful to also include a link to a youtube source that at least has autocaptioning, as poor as it is, rather than nothing at all

Autocaptioning understood the assignment

autocaptioning has the bit in its teeth

even before this youtube's autocaptioning sucked when getting translated, i can only imagine the hell that is finding all these english videos getting mangled to fit your local language when you can understand the originals just fine, i assume some client's don't have the audio track setting

Autocaptioning will save us all.

…wait, *doom.* I meant *doom.*
